My thoughts... Dorwit pissed away $3M in financing over the last two years and is now over $800K in debt and the dilution isn't stopping.
There is no real vision or plan to make GMER profitable other than "loading games" onto 10's of thousands of cell phones which they supposedly distribute through VIA ONE. If that even happens, what will that generate. A couple of $1,000.00?
Dorwit has made GMER a big pile of sh*t after putting out flowery PR's saying how "special GMER" was only to fail time and time again.
Here's the proof in the latest 10K

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash balance consisted of $8,302 compared to cash balance of $304,225 as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in the cash balance was attributed to the expenses paid for day to day activities and development. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $125,391 in total assets compared to total assets of $484,394 at September 30, 2023. The decrease in total assets was attributed to cash paid for daily operations and the impairment cost associated with the digital assets.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had total liabilities of $917,704 compared with total liabilities of $520,277 as of December 31, 2023. The increase in liabilities was attributable to the operating expenses to be paid in coming months.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has a working capital deficit of $886,565 compared with a working capital deficit of $122,427 as of December 30, 2023. The decrease in working capital is due to a decline in cash expended for day to day activity as well as the impairment cost associated with the digital assets.
In Q3 2024, the Company faced challenges in maintaining adequate capital resources due to a significant decrease in cash and cash equivalents, resulting from lower-than-anticipated revenues and higher development costs. Despite efforts to optimize working capital management, our ability to access additional financing sources has been constrained by current market conditions. Management will utilize its existing agreement with ViaOne Services for working capital and is actively exploring alternative financing options to address these challenges and ensure sufficient liquidity for ongoing operations.

Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our preferred shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders.
There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Remember this hype!? Total f'n failure! Paints a rosy bright future, lots of excitement, lots of stock buyers as others were selling, delivers sh*********T.

Someone pumped GMER to hit .70's to make it seem like they were doing well, only to find out, games were adjunct failures.

Good Gaming Inc. Announces Letter to Shareholders
Press Release | 01/04/2022
Kennett Square, PA, Jan. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Good Gaming, Inc. (OTCQB: GMER) (the "Company"), an innovative brand leading the gaming industry across multiple segments in the space since 2008, today released a letter to shareholders from Chairman and CEO David Dorwart.
https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/GMER/news/Good-Gaming-Inc-Announces-Letter-to-Shareholders?id=337706
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
We are excited to enter 2022 with Good Gaming in a position of strength unlike any other period in its history. The tireless work of our dedicated team throughout 2021 has solidified our foundation for long-term growth, and I am pleased to take this opportunity to summarize our recent business developments, significant achievements of the last year, as well as provide some insight into the strategic direction of Good Gaming for 2022 and beyond.
Executing on our vision of pioneering the NFT gaming space, we culminated our successes of 2021 with the much-anticipated official mainnet launch of our first-to-market collectible NFT game MicroBuddies™ on December 17th. Our team's ability to take MicroBuddies™ from concept to full launch in under a year is nothing short of phenomenal and clearly demonstrates our ability to capitalize on opportunities in the rapidly evolving gaming market.
When we pivoted to crypto gaming in early 2021, we were building upon an already amazing history in the gaming space. We actually got started in gaming back in 2008 and really began making a name for ourselves in 2014 when we started creating competitive eSports tournaments for Blizzard Entertainment's Hearthstone, a free-to-play online digital collectible card game.
After becoming the go-to for anything Hearthstone-related, we capitalized on the surging popularity of Minecraft servers. Ultimately, we created some of the most popular private-server versions of Prison and Skyblock, two of the most popular game modes in Minecraft. We also went on to build huge communities in the process. And now we intend to do the same with NFT gaming.
Our community building in this arena is already off to a tremendous start with more than 6,000 members on our MicroBuddies™ Discord channel, more than 22,000 followers on Twitter, and over 36,000 Instagram followers. As we continue to expand partnerships with NFT and crypto influencers and pursue targeted online ads to drive increased awareness, we believe these numbers will grow significantly in 2022.
Completing the development and launch of MicroBuddies™ was made possible in part by our achievement of key milestones in 2021, including our listing on the OTCQB in September and the subsequent $3.1 million PIPE financing we closed in November.
Finally, we ended the year by restructuring our outstanding debt, converting $2.7 million worth of debt into preferred equity. This conversion, which removes an expected $16.5 million of derivative liabilities from our balance sheet, combined with the proceeds of our PIPE offering, gives Good Gaming a much more robust and healthier balance sheet as we enter 2022, while eliminating the potential impact of derivative liability losses on our financial statements moving forward.
Looking ahead, our team will continue the development of MicroBuddies™ in 2022 through code enhancements, user experience and user interface upgrades, and bug fixes. Our focus on improving gameplay includes plans to add functionality and visual enhancements, remove the occasional error messages, and address suggestions and requests from our passionate and rapidly growing Discord community.
We also plan to incorporate the ability to browse OpenSea listings directly from within MicroBuddies™, empowering players with robust sorting tools and other relevant features to support the best possible user experience for our community.
Another exciting area with tremendous potential that we are exploring is the incorporation of PFP and other community-based projects that will allow us to increase our exposure to the booming NFT industry and bridge the gaps between additional game releases.. PFPs, or profile pictures designed to be used as social media avatars, were some of the first NFTs ever made. During the NFT boom in the first half of 2021, many PFPs went on to command multi-million-dollar prices, including Sotheby's sale of CryptoPunk #7423 in June for more than $11.7 million.
In the bigger picture, our five-year strategic plan includes the release of multiple games with increasing complexity. These games will be interwoven with a comprehensive and engaging community where members feel they are part of an exclusive club, and we will support the growth of this community through proven tactics we have employed in past endeavors, including competitions, exclusive perks, and attractive giveaways.
One of the things we have learned through experience is that success in this arena is about more than just game development. NFTs and crypto gaming really bolt onto the larger idea of creating a lifestyle and community. This is the secret sauce that fosters highly engaged, die-hard brand loyalists.
Our ultimate vision leverages the interoperability of the blockchain to create opportunities for our players to utilize GOO, our in-game currency, in various ways, across different projects and games. This vision is about providing our gamers with the opportunity to participate in an entire lifestyle to keep them engaged, much like the idea of the metaverse, or in our case, a "microverse."
An outgrowth of this lifestyle approach and a demonstration of the strength of our rapidly growing community can be found in the upcoming launch of our merchandise store for MicroBuddies™, a feature our dedicated community members practically demanded, where they can go to purchase shirts, hats, mugs, bags, and more. Going forward, we will have a lot more opportunities to generate various revenue streams within this community as it continues to grow.
With so much potential on the near-term horizon, we are moving ahead on plans to expand our executive management team with the addition of key hires with proven track records of success in the gaming industry and social media platforms. Our expanding executive team will give us the additional contacts and technical expertise needed by having the right people in the right place at the right time!
We wholeheartedly believe that crypto gaming and NFTs will absolutely revolutionize all aspects of gaming in the future. Players want to truly own their assets and blockchain smart contracts now ensure that game development companies like Good Gaming can continue to earn revenue even after the asset transfers to players outside of its game. This monumental trend is irrefutable, and it is coming in a big way!
I couldn't be more thrilled with the position of Good Gaming as we enter 2022 and believe this will be a breakout year for the Company as we take advantage of lucrative opportunities in the fast-moving and exciting world of NFT gaming that we are pioneering.
Thank you to all our shareholders for your support on this exciting journey. The best is yet to come!
Sincerely,
David Dorwart
Chairman & CEO

Wow! Real ignorance abounds here so let's clear things up to keep the misinformation down to a minimum by those who pretend to be smart but are factually clueless.
First, any company that converts a debt, which is expected to be paid back, and converts it into equity (in this case preferred shares of stock at a fixed price) is considered an investor in the company, no different than buying shares of stock in the company on the open market. They are subjected to the same risks and rewards as any shareholder. Obviously, they obtain much greater risk because their debt is considered paid in full the moment they accept shares of stock in leiu of the debt. So maximum risk has been taken by ViaOne to the tune of over $2 million. Which crying baby can say the same thing?
Second, Good Gaming ahs never stated they were reverse merging into any company. There has never been a press release stating such nor has the company ever represented such. So, unless I can be shown they publicly announced an acquisition or reverse merger that fell through then the statement like most of the inuendo's posed as facts are actually B.S.
Third, Good Gaming is a Form 10 filing company trading on the OTCQB, which means they are held accountable to the Securities Exchange Commission for every piece of information that is filed or disseminated to the general public through their SEC EDGAR filing. On top of that, they use Sechenzia, Ross, Ference, Carmel is one of the top Wall Street Law Firms in the country. Every SEC filing is reviewed by legal counsel before being filed. Had GMER attempted to do anything illegal with an "illegal net business model" they certainly wouldn't file their intent with the SEC, nor would their legal counsel allow that to happen.
Fourth, any sophisticated trader knows that OTC stocks cannot be shorted. In order to short a stock the shares must qualify to be margined. OTC stocks do not qualify to be margined, so anyone blurting out that an OTC stock is down because it is being shorted is only showing they have no legitimate trading experience because it cannot be done.
Fifth, again, there is a certain amount of ignorance being deployed when someone talks about dilution being associated with a capital raise. Most public companies enjoy the benefit of being able to raise capital through the issuance of shares of stock in their company. For those who do not know, when a new investor purchases shares of stock in the open market they are purchasing shares from another investor willing to sell their shares. The company does not benefit financially from any trading of their stock in the secondary market, which is where we here on this board buy and sell our stock. So when a company wants to raise capital they will do it through a primary offering and sell shares through a registration statement which is fully disclosed to all shareholders in SEC filings. Is there any dilution? Of course, because the company is saying they are going to create "X" amount of shares to sell at "Y" amount. However, one must look at the offering to see if it was something reasonable to the other shareholders. In the case of GMER they raised $3 million dollars through the offering of shares at .15 cents a time the stock was trading at .19 cents with a reputable NY investment banking firm HC Wainwright. The discount at the time was very fair, but more importantly, it was disclosed to all shareholders so that if they didn't agree it was a fair deal, they could act accordingly. Now, I will say that there are things called "toxic notes" that allow the noteholders to convert debt to equity in small batches at a discount with no bottom or floor price. These are considered "highly dilutive" types of financings which should be considered a major red flag but is not what we are talking about here with the offering that was done by HC Wainright for the $3 million raise.
I think the more mature bunch on this board realize that investing in any OTC stock takes great risk. Only fools get upset when their investment doesn't work out in the time they think it should. The fact is Good Gaming is a very unique situation because of their parent company which is a very successful and well capitalized company. If that were not the case, this company would have failed long ago under previous management that was doing bad business with bad people. To know ViaOne Services is to know that while they may not be gaming experts, they have a very high business IQ and it's only a matter of time before they figure out how to make Good Gaming successful like their other companies.
You certainly can't discount any company willing to put their monies where their mouth is and that's exactly what they have done by becoming major shareholders through the purchase of shares alongside their shareholders.
